Instructions: My card is 6" X 6". Cut a piece of cardstock 6" X 12" and score at 3" and 9". Cover the inside of the card with some of the paper collection. Stamp the sentiment on the middle panel. I added bling to the two small pieces of the card just to add some interest. Close the card and cover the outside panels with some more of the pretty paper from the paper collection. Next I die cut three of the Rectangle dies and glued them together to give some extra strength to the piece. Stamp, color and cut out the snowman and add him to the smaller elements of the die and glue that piece on the left side of the card front panel. (Be sure to leave the right half of the piece hanging off the panel. This enables it to interlock with the front piece and hold the card together). Next apply the frame to the right hand side of the card front, also leaving about half of it hanging off the side. Stamp, emboss and cut out the snowflakes and the tree. I used dimensional tape to pop up the pieces. Now you should be able to interlock the left side with the right side of the card front and allow it to stay folded together. If my instructions weren't quite clear, there are numerous videos on the Internet showing how to do this.
